(Sort of continued from my previous post.)
Similarly.. I question which of these names are most likely to take advantage of a good opportunity (if scum) to benefit by placing their vote on someone they know is innocent.
Lab Rat - I disagree with Wizard's assessment that Lab waits and carefully deliberates before deciding who she's going to go after. In her case, all it usually takes is one logical argument or some theory she's pulled out of thin air and she's fairly quick to make snap judgements. Then she's pretty relentless in her pursuit of someone either because she really thinks they're scummy or she wants to appear like she's bush kicking on the town's behalf.... all the while, adamantly arguing with or pouncing on anyone who even mildly disagrees with her.
Kashta - Well yeah, my name is there too. While I may be putting my own neck at risk by bringing this up, that's okay. I like to think I'm competent enough not to be easily manipulated or suckered in by someone like JL......... as I used to be... when JL plants his little seeds of suspicion against someone. Since I also always suspect Ice in these games and look for subtle logic twists from him whenever possible... I believe it would be foolish and naive not to question his motives every game. That's why I voted him.
Bio - This is someone who swooped right in to place a convenient vote on someone at a time when she thought it was a safe way to hide a mafia vote against someone on the other side.
Mael - Hard to read.. still undecided.
Noods - Not looking like a pro-town move on her part.
At this point, it's too soon in the game to make a definitive call and I'm not sure what to conclude about either JL or Ice. If either of those two are evil, I'm certainly not going to figure that out on Day 1. Placing my vote on Ice was one thing, but leaving it there implies a certainty of opinion that I can't say I have (yet). But what's gone on in this thread... reading the posts and questioning where votes have been placed... I feel there's a very strong likelihood that Annie, Rich, and Bio (or even just 2 out of 3) are working quietly against the town.
I retract my vote on Ice.
My top suspects right now are JL, Annie, Rich, and Bio.
I'm leaning Lab Rat and ILM more to the scum side than townie.
I'm still undecided or neutral about everyone else (including Ice which explains my retraction above).
First... I'd really like JL to address the points I have brought up in my posts today. I doubt that my concerns about JL are solid enough yet to base voting him this soon. But I'm not far away from making that change... very likely will decide to vote him between now and nightfall (assuming I get time today to follow the thread early enough).
Second... Depending on how this plays out with JL which I'm counting as "yet to be determined"... my next choice for top suspect would be BioHazard.
I vote to lynch Bio.
I'll wait to read JL's response(s) before making a final decision about voting him. In the meanwhile, based on everything that's gone on in this thread, I think Bio is the one most likely to have slipped up at this point. Bio is also carrying votes to which I'm happy to add mine.
I very well may switch to JL later... so we'll see. At the moment, a single vote from me on JL would seem meaningless when other top suspects appear to be lynchable today.
